Welcome to the physician assistant exam review podcast. Today we're going to be covering skin infections and bug bites.

My name is Brian Wallace. I'm the host and creator here at Physician Assistant Exam Review,

and I want you to remember that we aren't just about medical facts here. We're about how to think,

study, and perform for high-stakes exams. In each episode, we take medical content and break it down

to show you how to recognize it on exams and how to organize it when you're studying. We it down to show you how to recognize it on exams and

how to organize it when you're studying.

We also want to show you how to avoid common thinking traps and things that cost you

points for the pants or on your underduration exams or wherever else you need this material.

This week we're going to continue with derm doing skin infections and bug bites were actually good I was going to include

viral skin infections here but we're going to we're going to bump that it just became too much

I think to hold on to so we're going to do bacterial we're going to do fungal we're going to do

parasites and then we're going to do bug bites all right so without further ado let's jump right

in to our priming questions.

Poorly defined arithema and swelling on one shin suggests what diagnosis.

Poorly defined arrethema and swelling on one shin suggests what diagnosis.

A beefy red rash with satellite lesions suggests what type of infection?

Annular scaly rash with central clearing suggests what organism type?

What's the bug? What's the organism?

Intense nocturnal itching with linear lesions in the finger web suggests what infestation?

And finally, how should an expanding erythematous rash after a tick bite be treated?

All right, we're going to begin with bacterial infections.

These are usually tested against each other.
